Speed Coded HTML Templating Thoughts

  1. const tmpl = `
  2.   main
  3.     h1 Welcome
  4.     hr
  5.     nav

  8.       button three
  9.     hr

Parse a minimalistic html template inspired by the likes of jade, haml, pug etc… This is very speed-coded. I may revisit the same thing with a bit more of an elegant approach in the future.

// html // javascript // strings // ui

Check if HTML Tag is Valid

  1. const isTag = tag => { 
  2.   return !/Unknown/.test(document.createElement(tag) + '')
  3. }
  4.  
  5. console.log('section:', isTag('section'))
  6. console.log('div:', isTag('div'))
  7. console.log('nav:', isTag('nav'))
  8. console.log('banana:', isTag('banana'))

Check if a tagName is a valid html element.

When casting a dom node to a string, you’ll get a class name like this:

  1. document.createElement('div') + ''
  2. // '[object HTMLDivElement]'
  3.  
  4. // you can cast to a string with `toString` if 
  5. // you want things to be more readable
  6. document.createElement('section').toString()
  7. // '[object HTMLElement]'
  8.  
  9. document.createElement('input') + ''
  10. // '[object HTMLInputElement]'

When you try to create something with an unknown tagName you’ll end up with:

  1. document.createElement('banana') + ''
  2. // '[object HTMLUnknownElement]'

So, testing for the presence of the string Unknown is an easy way to check if a tagName is valid in a given browser. This is the perfect kind of thing to memoize: 

  1. const tags = {}
  2. const isTag = tag => { 
  3.   if (tags[tag] != null) {
  4.     // already calculated
  5.     console.log('loking up: ', tag, tags[tag]);
  6.     return tags[tag]
  7.   }
  8.   const result = !/Unknown/.test(document.createElement(tag) + '')
  9.   tags[tag] = result
  10.   return result
  11. }
  12.  
  13. console.log('calculator', isTag('calculator'))
  14. console.log('calculator', isTag('calculator'))
  15.  
  16. console.log('strong', isTag('strong'))
  17. console.log('strong', isTag('strong'))
// dom // html // javascript // regex // strings // tricks // ui

Remove First Line of a String

  1. str.replace(/.*/, '').substr(1)

Needed this one today…

// javascript // regex // strings

Tab Timer

  1. <title id=t></title>
  2. <script>
  3.   st = Date.now()
  4.   setInterval(_ => {
  5.     s = Date.now() - st
  6.     t.innerHTML = 
  7.       ~~(s/6e4)+':'+(~~(s/1e3)%60)
  8.   }, 500)
  9. </script>

I speed coded this recently to put a timer in a brower tab.

Have a look at it here in a new tab…

Obviously this is pretty odd – but it does work for my purposes 😉
